Snowmobiling Tips
- If you go through the ice, your snowmobile suit ( even a non-buoyant one)
and a helmet may keep you afloat for several minutes. Slide back onto
the ice, kick your feet and roll away from the hole. Keep your mitts
on as they will help you grab the ice. Use anything sharp to dig for a
better pull.
- Make sure your headlight and taillights are clear of snow and dress for
the colder temperature darkness brings.
- Carry a useful tool kit, spare parts, flashlight, first aid kit and a few
survival items such as high energy food, matches in a water proof container,
compass and a whistle.
- Check the weather and conditions of the trails before traveling.
- Drowning is one of the leading causes of snowmobiling fatalities. Consider
buying a buoyant snowmobile suit.
- Before each ride, follow the "pre-op" check outlined in your
owner's manual. Make sure your headlights are clear of snow.
- Travel is not recommended on all lakes, rivers or streams.
- Check the weather report and heed precautions and advisories. If
weather warnings suggest a severe wind chill or extremely low temperatures,
consider avoiding outdoor activities until the weather improves. Dress smart!
- Wear a snowmobiling helmet. Slow down and enjoy the scenery and the experience.
- Keep a trail map with you and know where you are. Stay on marked trails.
